      Oh, I’m so sorry, I just reread it and realized I misunderstood what you said.

      I noticed that I isolated the first part of your comment and overlooked the subordinating conditional clause below it, which led me to commit a straw man fallacy driven by a selection bias.

      That said, I have to point out that your initial statement still relied on a composition and a generalization fallacy —even though you didn’t explicitly claim that all pedophiles are offenders— by stating in a blanket way that all pedophiles should kill themselves due to the actions of a minority of them.

      I think this mutual oversight was the root of the misunderstanding, and again, I apologize for my part in it.

      I hope this helps both of us have better interactions in the future.
